The health and medical-related industries are exhibiting continuous growth, with the global medical device and equipment manufacturing sector expanding at a rapid pace. Biomedical engineering is an integrated, interdisciplinary field that combines engineering, public health, and various scientific disciplines to serve medical purposes. It enables the effective use of advanced medical technologies, such as the development of prosthetic organs and biological measurement devices.

In Thailand, the medical device and equipment industry remains in an early stage and requires further advancement in both technology and innovation. There is also a need to develop a skilled workforce in the field of biomedical engineering to improve the quality and standards of medical materials and equipment.

The establishment of Occupational Standards and Professional Qualification in the Biomedical Engineering Professional Sector is a key approach to enhancing the competencies and professional standards of personnel in this field, thereby fostering trust and recognition among consumers.
